I've gone to every EAS I could find the time to attend since like forever.

There are a few things that every beekeeper has to see to believe.

One of them is the 800 or so beekeepers that attend a one-day meeting
on the first Saturday in March in Wooster Ohio (the "Tri-County Beekeepers"
meeting. The other is any EAS meeting. The 3-day event is about the
biggest assembly of the best and the brightest in one place one will find on this planet.

The "short courses" (Mon-Wed) are excellent, but they are intense, and
are not for short attention spans. The sessions at the general meeting
(Wed - Fri) are an hour at most, and if you find that you are in a session
that does not interest you, there is no stigma attached to leaving, and
going to another talk that might be more interesting.

Prices?

It would be nice if someone in the know could share some information regarding costs to register for the various programs/short courses offered. Some of us have never been to an EAS event and need enough information to decide what conference we will choose and then plan accordingly. I know that schedules and plans have a way of changing at the last minute but surely a fee schedule has been decided. Why not share it?

My wife and I will be at EAS all week. We are registered as Vendors and look forward to seeing everything at the meeting. We have attended the ABF meetings except this last year and look forward to the EAS.
Come by our booth and say "Hi"

Dave, if you go to the website mentioned previously you can download a registration form that lists the cost for the short course, conference, meals and even lodging (if you plan to stay on campus.) Greg and I will be there for the conference only. We won't be staying on campus. Our membership, meals and conference will be $331.00. Its worth every bit of the cost!

I didn't realize that BeeSource folk got together in Delaware last year. It would have been fun to meet everyone. Maybe we can meet some of you this year.

That was fun, having dinner and a few beers with the Beesource folks. Made some good friends...Maine Beekeeper, Jo Ann, Aspera, Bill Mares, the woman who lived on a boat, and a few others whose names I can't remember. Wish it wasn't a two day drive...I'd go again.

I need some information. Is it possible to sign up for the short course on Monday morning. I need to join EAS as well.m I tried calling the treasure of EAS and got a recording and I could not make out the contact phone number .
